Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb (2014): Living Exhibits at the British Museum


     Directed by Shawn Levy, and co-produced by Chris Columbus, Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb (2014) is the third installment in the popular and family-friendly Night at the Museum trilogy. The story finds night watchman Larry Daley presiding over a magical night program of living exhibits at the Museum of Natural History, when corrosion on the Tablet of Ahkmenrah causes control of the exhibits to fizzle. Larry travels (with Teddy Roosevelt and others) to London and sneaks into the British Museum to seek the advice of Ahkmenrah's father, the Pharaoh, who understands the secret of the tablet's magical powers. The special effects are dazzling and nicely showcase a new menagerie of exhibits brought to life in London. The Elgin Marbles, the Tibetan Garuda, Sir Lancelot and the works of MC Escher spring to animated life during the night in the tablet's presence. As in the previous films, the laughable portrayal of museum security is done in good humor… with Rebel Wilson stealing the show as Tilly, the counterpart night security guard at the British Museum. Ben Stiller is great as Larry Daley. Robin Williams appears (in his final role) as Teddy Roosevelt. Ben Kingsley is powerful as the Pharaoh Merenkahre. Dan Stevens appears as Sir Lancelot. The supporting cast is good as well, including Ricky Gervais, Owen Wilson, Hugh Jackman, Bill Cobbs, Dick Van Dyke and Mickey Rooney.
